Dismiss a custom dialog?

I have a customized dialog, the layout file of the dialog contains a button with id "submit_btn".

In java code, I setOnClickListener to the submit_btn button of the dialog:

View view = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.info_dialog, null);

AlertDialog infoDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(MyActivity.this)
                                           .setView(view)        
                                           .create();
infoDialog.show();  

Button submitBtn = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.submit_btn);

submitBtn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

          public void onClick(View v) {
       //ERROR: Cannot refer to a non-final variable infoDialog inside an inner class defined in a different method

                     infoDialog.dismiss();
       }
});

Then, when I call infoDialog.dismiss();, Eclipse raise the error which complains that Cannot refer to a non-final variable infoDialog inside an inner class defined in a different method. How to get rid of this problem based on my code?

Take a look at Microsoft's KB on the issue:

When you start a computer that is running Windows Vista or Windows 7 for the first time, one or more of the following icons do not appear in the notification area in the lower-right corner of the screen.

• The Network icon
• The Volume icon
• The Power icon

You may also notice that the check boxes for the related system icons are not selected on the Notification Area tab of the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties dialog box. However, the network, volume, and power features function correctly even though their associated icons do not appear in the notification area. You can access these features by using Control Panel.

If you gave your computer enough time to finish the startup service initializations before you restarted it, and one or more of the system icons still do not appear in the notification area after the restart, you can make them reappear by deleting two subkeys from the registry.

Microsoft provides a "Fix It For Me" file that will automatically make the changes needed to fix this problem. You can download the Fix It For Me solution from here, or follow these steps to fix it yourself:

1. Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or click Allow.

2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify

3. In the Details pane, click the IconStreams registry entry.

4. On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click Yes.

5. In the Details pane, click the PastIconsStream registry entry.

6. On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click Yes.

7. Exit Registry Editor.

8. Either restart the computer or the Explorer.exe process.*

*The easiest way to restart explorer is to click the start menu, press Ctrl+Shift and right-click on the empty area of the start menu and select "Exit Explorer".

Then press Ctrl+Shift+Esc, click File -> New Tasks (Run) and type explorer and click OK. Close the Task Manager when you're done.

Also, if (like me) anyone out there is a computer gumby and unable to get the volume icon situated back in the task bar by doing something complicated, do this simple trick in W7:

Search for "adjust volume," The control panel icon called 'adjust volume' will come up in the list of items, Click on 'adjust volume,' Then when it opens, right click on it, On the pull down menu, click "pin to the task bar."

Ta-daah. The volume speaker icon will then appear in your task bar.

its a simply answer really, you didnt let your computer load up completely before you went and started up programs. all you have to do is open up task manager, go to processes, end explorer.exe... the taskbar should close down, dont panic, just while you still have task manager up press [file] and then new task run, and in the section type explorer.exe, your taskbar should load back up with the normal icons. if that doesnt work then go n do some registry editting like that other dude said.

Solution 4

The easiest way in Windows 8.1 is to open Task Manager (right-click on the menu bar or CTRL + SHIFT + ESC), then scroll to the very bottom to Windows Explorer, right-click on Windows Explorer and select Restart.

Note: this does not restart your computer! Only Windows system applicationexplorer.exe, which controls the folder windows you have open and some other things such as the start menu/notification tray.

This doesn't work on the Windows Explorer that may appear higher in the menu, it must be under Windows Processes.

I made an edit to my answer if you are against making it final. Is there a reason you don't want to mark it final?

[Alain]

Yeah thank God for this. It's incredibly difficult to search for a solution to this problem without being flooded by the trivial "enable the icon" solutions.

any other way to get rid of the problem?

But the thing is in my project, I need to avoid to use dialog default button

[Ben Weiss]

I wouldn't recommend doing that, since that's what an AlertDialog is designed for. But as others state you can simply add a final to the declaration.

It has solved the problem with the volume control icon but disabled the Action Center icon. Before applying the settings window was looking this way: i.stack.imgur.com/8BTEV.jpg (notice the volume icon switch set off and shaded) - now exactly the problem moved to the "Action Center".

I didn't have to run the fix. A simple stop/start explorer did it for me. Where the hell did you discover that explorer restart tip??

[Dana]

This works great for people that are inexperienced with messing with the registry values

@Jared Harley Life saver! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! It worked without a reboot, just explorer.exe restart.

The CTRL+SHIFT+ESC shortcut has worked in every version of Windows I've used, from Windows XP to Windows 10. As for older versions, we may never know (unless I decide to virtualize Windows 95 for the memories. :) )
